I can hardly believe it's been almost ten years since the first time I uploaded A Private Heaven. Where does the time go? I've gotten loads of positive feedback for that story, and it's all been very much appreciated. I can't thank everyone enough who has written comments. So to all the readers who have enjoyed that story, I have some good news.

To commemorate the tenth anniversary, I'm doing something I've been saying for years I was going to do but never got around to until now: I'm writing two new short stories featuring Chama, Kirin and Travis! At this writing they are works in progress and are coming along nicely. Barring any unforeseen difficulties, they will be posted on the anniversary date, which is November 5th. To anyone who hasn't read the original work, the new stories will include spoilers; that's still a few weeks off, so there's still time.

As for that other epic novel I've been working on, it continues to progress well. It's going to be quite large and is still months away at the earliest before any of it will be ready to post.
